The weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

<h3>What is Inequality?</h3>

Statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

A puppy weighs 2.8 pounds at birth and gained about 0.5 pounds per week.

A kitten weighs 1.4 pounds at birth and gains about 1.2 pounds per week.

puppy: 2.8 + 0.5x

Kitten: 1.4 + 1.2x

As, kitten is no less than puppy.

Kitten ≥ puppy

1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x

hence, the weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.

Find the 78th term of the arithmetic sequence<br> -12,-13,-14,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

  -89

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the sequence is a1 = -12.

The common difference between terms is ...

  d = -13 -(-12) = -1

The generic term is given by ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

Then the 78th term is ...

  a78 = -12 +(-1)(78 -1) = -12 -77

  a78 = -89

Round 1.49882 nearest to the nearest given place thousandths
I am Lyosha [343]
Okie doke. So, we are rounding this number to the nearest thousandths place, which is three digits behind the decimal. The rules for rounding are if the number is 5 or more in the digit behind it, the number goes up. If it is 4 or less, the number goes back. In other words, we depend on the digit right of the digit we are rounding to in order to see what we do. The number we are rounding is 1.49882. The 8 is in the thousandths place and the 8 is to the right of that, which is the ten thousandths place. Because 8 is greater than 5, the number rounds up. So the number rounded to the nearest thousandth is 1.500.

find the length of the base of a square pyramid if the volume is 1,024 cubic inches and has a height of 12 inches. (6 points) 4
Leokris [45]
To solve, we use the volume of a square pyramid formula which is expressed as the product of the area of the base (a²) and the height divided by three(h/3).

Volume = a² (h/3)
1024 in³ = (a²) (12 in/3)
a² = 1024 in³ · 3 /12
a = √256 in²
a = 16 in

Thus, the length of the base is 16 in.
